Foreword - Revab AXXION Mode D'emploi

Foreword

A wheelchair must be comfortable, not only for
the user but for the accompanying person as well.
Only then will optimal mobility be guaranteed. Your
wheelchair is fitted with an Axxion auxiliary drive. The
control device for the Axxion is designed to provide
the right amount of assistance automatically - without
the accompanying person having to do anything
extra. If you want to push faster or if you have to push
harder, the Axxion gives you extra help without you
noticing. If you are walking more slowly, the Axxion
automatically "takes its foot off the accelerator".
The automatic control device is built into the hand-
grip. It senses how hard you are pushing and
automatically adjusts accordingly. You must therefore
push the wheelchair in the normal way, with both
hands on the push-handles.
When you use the Axxion for the first time, it may
seem strange that you are getting a helping hand with
the pushing. But you will soon get so used to it that
you will miss it when it is not switched on.
The Axxion has been tested positively by the Dutch
TNO in compliance with the relevant requirements
of the European wheelchair standards EN 12183
and EN 12184 Class A, and therefore complies with
the essential requirements of the Medical Devices
Directive 93/42/EEC.
The law regards disabled people as a separate group
of road users. Wheelchairs with an auxiliary drive do
NOT need a vehicle registration plate.
